Introduction This Report details the Public Information Day held in Clonakility on 16th October 2012. Following the flood events that occurred in Clonakilty in the summer of 2012, it was decided to prioritise the work of the study in the town. Originally it was scheduled that the public consultation on the preferred flood risk management option for Clonakilty would take place in June 2014. The programme for Clonakilty has been accelerated so that this consultation will now take place in the first half of 2013, over a year earlier than originally planned. This PID was held at the commencement of the project to gather information about public perception of flood risk and experience of flooding and views on potential solutions. The program for the Public Information Day included: A presentation to the Elected Representatives, Cork County Council and Clonakility Town Council. A meeting with Clonakilty Chamber of Commerce and Progress Group Members. A public information session. Questionnaire forms were available at the Public Information Day in order to collate the opinions and information available from the public and other parties on the issue of Flood Risk in Clonakilty. The Questionnaire forms could be completed and returned on the day or by 2nd November 2012 by post or directly to Cork County Council. A summary of the public submissions is contained in Section 2.0 and Appendix D of this report. A Detailed submission was also received from the Clonakilty Chamber of Commerce. Refer to Section 3.0 of this report outlining the detailed submission which is included in Appendix E of this report. 296235/CCW/CR/2001/A November 2012 296235-CCW-CR-2001-A 1 SWRBD CFRAM Study 2.
